Chapter 80: Happiness That I Didn’t Dare to Think About in the Past
Lin Gantang accidentally rushed into his embrace, and Wen Yanqing hugged her back.
However, before he could fully embrace the warmth of the hug, Lin Gantang gently pushed him away. She glanced at the people around them and said with embarrassment, “Ah… There are so many people watching.”
She then pushed him away and handed the sunflower bouquet to him.
It was reminiscent of the day when he was given Little Leopard Flower in his arms.
Wen Yanqing couldn’t help but laugh, but this time he didn’t feel the disappointment he did before.
As Lin Gantang inched closer, he was already content.
Yi Qian, who was on the same flight, hung back, tactfully avoiding any interference.
Invisible people should have the sensibility of invisible people.
He once believed that the CEO would remain in unrequited love for a lifetime, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. He was lucky enough to witness a bright future.
Meanwhile, Special Assistant Yi, impeccably dressed in a suit, couldn’t help but sneak glances while pretending to be serious.
“Having been busy for three days, do you want to go home and rest first?” Lin Gantang asked.
“I need to make a quick stop at the company,” Wen Yanqing replied, looking at her. “Would you like to come along? We’ll be done soon.”
His tone carried a hint of hope, and Lin Gantang’s heart softened. “Sure, I don’t have anything else to do.”
Lin Gantang drove her family’s car out, and Wen Yanqing took the car keys from her and sat in the driver’s seat.
As Lin Gantang settled in the front passenger seat and adjusted her skirt, which had spread to the side, Wen Yanqing turned to her and helped her fasten her seatbelt.
Lin Gantang caught a whiff of his scent, faint and gentle like a breeze from a spring beach, carrying the scent of the rising waves.
Her nose tingled slightly, and her wandering gaze settled on him. Her heart skipped a beat as she felt the warmth of his fingertips when he touched her skin. She quickly averted her gaze, saying, “It’s just the seatbelt. I can manage it myself.”
Seeing her fleeting gaze, Wen Yanqing smiled.
Lin Gantang playfully tugged at her skirt.
After waiting for a while and noticing that Wen Yanqing wasn’t starting the car, Lin Gantang couldn’t help but look at him in confusion.
“City X is known for its pearls, and I thought they’d suit you, so I brought some back.” Wen Yanqing took out a small jewelry box he had been carrying and handed it to her with a hint of anticipation.
Lin Gantang glanced at the round jewelry box. “Is this for me?”
After speaking, she felt her words were redundant, and with a slight smile, she accepted the box and opened it.
Inside was a simple pearl bracelet, with lustrous, round pearls that shimmered brilliantly.
Surprise flickered in Lin Gantang’s eyes.
Wen Yanqing reached over and helped her put the bracelet on her wrist.
Her delicate wrist made the pearls’ radiance enhance her fair and smooth skin.
Lin Gantang noticed that his hand, as he fastened the bracelet, seemed slightly nervous, causing his fingers to tremble. Her skin felt the warmth of his touch.
Seeing his slightly curled hair when he looked down, Lin Gantang unconsciously reached out and touched it.
Wen Yanqing lifted his head, and Lin Gantang hastily withdrew her hand.
“It suits you very well,” Wen Yanqing said, his tone as gentle as water.
Lin Gantang shook the bracelet on her wrist and smiled. “It’s really beautiful.”
Wen Yanqing started the car and drove onto the road. It took a while for his rapidly beating heart to finally settle down.
Over the years, he had prepared numerous gifts for her, birthdays, Christmases, New Year’s, Chinese Valentine’s Days…
He had thought that everything would remain covered in darkness and gradually decay along with his heart over time.
But now, these gifts could be presented openly, along with his true feelings.
He could personally adorn her with beautiful jewelry and offer magnificent treasures.
He could visit her home and enjoy lively meals with her family.
Perhaps he could still ask for more and prepare a wedding dress for her and put on a veil.
He hoped that two people in a room would have three meals in four seasons and that seven emotions, six desires, and five tastes would last for a hundred years.
All the happiness he never dared to imagine in the past..
